I use steam.

Dry and spritz while making blocks, steam after all is complete.

steam...always....

dry iron most of the time and use best press or starch when needed

Steam baby steam!!

For years I have used a steam iron, (Rowenta). Then residue started to build up inside and it started spitting out chunks so I quit using the steam and just started using it dry. If I needed to press out some stubborn wrinkles I would spritz it with water. I keep a spray bottle handy. Then I read on this QB that a lot of quilters use spray starch. I have a bottle of Best Press that I have had for a long time, but didn't really know what to do with. So, now I have been using that when I press my seams and it works like a charm. Thank you, QB, I learn so much on this site. I don't post a lot, but I do read it every day.
